I had just stumbled onto the article 1916 Cumberland vs. Georgia Tech football game and noticed the infobox looked far too wide. See here for how I found it. I initially suspected the image size was set too wide, but it was set at 275 which didn't seem unreasonable. I changed it to a couple lower values and it had no effect. Then I started looking through the edit history to find out how it got that way and was surprised to see it's been like this for 3 years, evidently stemming from this edit.
I'm not really familiar with how different infoboxes are supposed to use the various parameters, but according to that edit summary in June 2017, the editor made the change because of "Fix dperecated [sic] image syntax in infobox...".
Was he right? Is the syntax for this infobox deprecated? Will someone now revert my "fix" back to how it was based on a similar argument? Is this template in need of correction? --DB1729 (talk) 05:07, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

| image = GT Cumberland 222 scoreboard.jpg
(no double brackets) and | image_size = 275
format is still displaying an oversized image. Additionally the template documentation still recommends this format:|Image=[[File:Example-serious.jpg]]
(with the File suffix and all in double brackets).
